Poetry by Gwil James Thomas

Poetry

Fires bile and bullets
into the innocents,
whom couldn’t care
or were unaware of its archaic
and unforgiving existence –
some cult appealing to society’s
disenchanted, failed and neglected.

Appears from nowhere bringing
prodigious and superhuman
structures from ancient times
to the modern world –
before boarding its ship and
disappearing back into the skies.

Slips cream into the soya lattes
of the lactose intolerant.

Hoovers another line of cocaine,
so self assured of its own brilliance –
before it rejoins the orgy
searching for another orifice to climax in –
never limp, nor satisfied.

Carries Dylan Thomas back to shore,
after being drunk and stranded
on a rock at sea.

And right now,
brings me
to you,
amigo.
